I am not sure about the VIP benefits as the room we got is at the very end of the hotel a too far from Lobby and Breakfast area. Also the room we got on the first not has non working AC and we switched the rooms the next day. Both the rooms are very far from lobby.

I stayed at the Raddison San Jose for 6 nights, and overall it was a pleasant experience. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, close to a Wal-Mart. While it wasn’t anything overly luxurious, it had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Would consider staying here again.
